Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Epidemiology
- Sociology
Background
- The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented global challenges, potentially increasing the prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV).
- Understanding the scope and contributing factors of IPV during this period is crucial for public health interventions.
- Previous research suggested a rise in IPV, necessitating a comprehensive global analysis.
Purpose Of The Study
- To systematically review and meta-analyze the global prevalence of different types of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women during the COVID-19 pandemic.
- To identify key contributing factors associated with IPV during the pandemic.
- To provide a data-driven overview of the impact of the pandemic on intimate partner violence.
Main Methods
- A systematic review and meta-analysis adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
- Searched major databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science) for studies on IPV during COVID-19 published in English.
- Included 41 studies with 14,615 participants, assessing study quality using the Joanna Briggs Institute Checklist and employing a random-effect model for meta-analysis.
Main Results
- The overall prevalence of IPV was 31%, with psychological IPV being the most common type at 33%.
- Economic (19.1%), physical (9.5%), and sexual IPV (8.5%) were also significant concerns.
- Key influencing factors included age, education level, pregnancy status, and duration of marriage.
Conclusions
- Approximately one-third of women experienced IPV during the COVID-19 pandemic, with psychological abuse being the most prevalent form.
- Environmental, social, economic, cultural, and political factors significantly influenced IPV.
- Demographic factors such as age, education, pregnancy, and marital duration are critical correlates of IPV.

The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...
